The three-volume set collects for reprint original essays, diary entries, and biographical recollections written by contemporaries and sometimes friends of Shelley, Byron, and Wordsworth. An important source for romantic poetry scholars, the writings provide insights into the lives of the three artists without the inevitable jadedness a contemporary critique must bring (to be worth its salt) in a postmodern society. Each volume includes selected commentary and introductions written by scholars in the field. Lacks an index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

'In sum, then, this is a deeply absorbing collection. It affords many of the pleasures and insights of traditional literary biography, but it also encourages one to reflect critically upon the biographical project itself.' British Association for Romantic Studies Bulletin
